Solve 7x+14=13x+387x+14=13x + 38.

Solving Equations: Linear (x on Both Sides) Booklet p. 10
Method
1) Kill, kill
2) Get x's on one side and numbers on the other (* x's on both sides: Kill smallest x first *)
Worked Example (GB-07-03-001)
1)
Subtract the smallest x term from both sides: −7x-7x.
2)
14=6x+3814=6x + 38
3)
Remove the remaining constant: 6x=−246x=-24.
4)
Divide both sides by 6: x=−4x=-4.
Ans = x=−4x=-4
